Abstract
Swimming requires repetitive overhead movements that may lead to shoulder
injury. Dysfunctions in the movements of the scapula have been associated with injury to
overhead athletes in other sports. In addition, most of the current research describing scapular
dysfunction in swimmers has assessed adults, with few studies assessing adolescent
swimmers.
